everyone knows washington has a big spending problem. we're heading to our fifth year of $1 trillion debt. we have heard 1000 times we promise. these are politicians making the promises. we promise, and give us more money, and we will use it to reduce the deficit and debt. never happens. it is a joke to go down this road. i know we are in a tough situation because of decisions made in the past. on january 1, taxes go up. that is because we made bad decisions in the past. here we are. that does not mean you go against the thank you no work that will solve the problems. you cannot do that because it is bad policy. it will not help to grow the economy or create jobs. the problem is you cannot trust them, particularly the guys in congress. you just cannot go there. >> you have to go back and look historically. we have done this. we have never found a time in modern history where raising taxes led to a balanced budget. it has never happened. we found a number of areas -- the president likes talking about, he and bill clinton have a great affi

we are seeing the same thing in washington. i am sure you have all heard the talk recently about some deadlines we are facing in a few weeks when comes to investment in taxes. that will have a big impact on all of you. if congress does not accident, starting on january 1 everybody is going to see their income taxes going up. that is true. typical middle-class family of four will see an income tax hike of $2,200. how many of you can afford to pay another $2,200 tax and did not think so. that is a hit he cannot afford to take. if congress lets middle-class taxes go up, economists will tell you that people will spend nearly $200 billion less than they otherwise would spend. consumer spending is going to go down. that means you have less customers. businesses get your profits. they hire fewer workers. you go on a downward spiral. wrong idea. here is the good news. we can solve this problem. all congress needs to do is pass a law that would prevent a tax hike on the first $250,000 of everybody's income. that means and 98% of america

somehow washington never gets the message. and here we are 30 years later on the brink of another crisis on new year's eve still addicted to spending money. now, we are over $16 trillion in debt. president reagan's words and principles remain true today, and they were true when he said them. the problem is spending money. mr. speaker, the american people know this. why doesn't the federal government and congress understand it? why? because washington is obsessed with spending someone else's money. it's the arrogance of power that congress spends the people's money without regard to how this obsession affects those very people. when american families are in debt, they sacrifice, they cut spending, whether that means taking one less family vacation or fewer presents under the christmas tree. homes across the fruited plain are feeling the pain of the economic squeeze in their wall etc. and they adjust accordingly. -- wallets and they adjust accordingly. that's what happens when times are tough. families don't have a limited credi
